5438 - Thaumatopsis edonis
Brian Scholtens agrees with me in calling it this. BOLD's single photo came from Miss. Ent. Mus. but it is not identified in their projects. They probably couldn't retrieve DNA from the specimen. Without a reference specimen your moths simply report out as an unnamed group. No other described species looks like this. Fine Foto.
